Talk about the books those women wrote. What you enjoyed about them. What you disliked about them. Recommend their books to other people. Start book clubs that feature them.

I get that. It infuriates me though when people re-interpret the words of smart men in the past to justify their own misguided and half thought out philosophies. Orwell was a smart man, but I’m not about to get into a whole separate argument with an idiot about how he’s mis-interpreted a historical figure rather than…

Uh, it says you can’t buy one after 2050, but you can still keep your current gas-guzzlers.

The cross waving was weird to me, both as an atheist and as someone raised Catholic. Is she a vampire? Are they driving her out of town? Or are they simply threatening her with crucifixion? If the cross-waving is intended to be positive and welcoming, would it not have been better to greet her with palms, like…

I am so sick of this. I’m Appalachian, and I was raised to treat people with empathy. It was never acceptable in my household to slander gays or trans* people. Ever. Can we stop being absolute jerks to people from my region? Because it reeks of classism and something awfully close to ethnic hatred.

Admittedly it’s been a while since I last saw Deliverance, but (as someone who was born in Kentucky) I feel like this is a pretty hateful comparison to make. What did hill country rapists ever do to you that deserved being compared to Mike Huckabee?

If you don’t like the law, change it. Until then you are breaking the law.

That first story has to be made up, right?

Makes me think you wouldn’t be good at ANY job around other people. Being homeless is beyond pathetic if you’re capable of working. Sticking up for yourself is one thing; being a complete jacka$$ is another.

Well, the world needs ditch diggers, too.

See, I had a similar experience as you, but I went the other way with it. Every time someone popped up who was just an uppity asshole bent on making me cry at work (which seriously happened about 5x a day at least), I resolved not to let any of these douchestains get to me and would go into like super-helpful-friendly…

I’ll never shop at this store (for something you don’t sell) again !!!

Reasons you come off like a tool:

So you pretty much proved that everyone’s the hero of their own story. You think you’re justified in calling some woman you don’t know at all a “trophy wife cum dumpster”?

I know I have anger issues sometimes but part of this “adult” thing is holding back those toxic things we want to say.

Maybe you’ve learned something about yourself as to what triggers that reaction? Doesn’t matter if it’s retail, call center, or an office setting, you’ll run into assholes of all shapes/forms, but the…

called a customer “a worthless trophy wife cum dumpster” in front of her kids

That’s.. not really something to be proud of, there.

You sound like an overgrown child. Retail ain’t pretty, but most adults can suffer it with at least a touch of class.

Way to pull off a 74-word sentence.
